Haha, I know what you mean...some people here in Minnesota call sweatshirts 'sweaters', too. It's usually the elderly that do so.

sweatshirts = fleece ie: hoodies
sweaters = traditional sweaters. aka crewneck knit sweater

its like how ppl call their automobile a car- even if its a suv. same difference when used in everyday conversation.

Yeah that's how I think of sweatshirts/sweaters.

Haha, people here sometimes call their SUVs "trucks" and it drives me nuts.

yeah I know. That's why it gets confusing a lot of times, especially doing size checks. "I'm looking for an orange sweater." "Um we don't have orange sweaters. Do you mean a sweatshirt?"

Does anyone know when Fox Valley in Aurora is planned to open? I would love to make a trip there during my spring break next month if its open but the website only says opening soon.

it opened a few days ago- i think on Saturday. i stopped by there last night and its really great. i wouldn't really suggest going out of your way to get there unless your a girl or have a gf to shop for.

well my sister goes to columbia in chicago and I'm from MI so its not a great distance. If figure while I visit her I can catch a ride to see Gilly Hicks (and hopefully pick up some cute new clothes/underwear) since I dont know when the next time I'm going to be in the vicinity of one. Hopefully one will one in Texas by the time I move out there in May/June!

Another Michigander. Where in MI?

The thumb- if i tell you the actual town you will probably think I made it up.

Okay, for starters, they don't plan for a thousand. They want 800, by 2010. Next of all, if you're JUST now getting a Hollister, I wouldn't bet on a Gilly Hicks for a while. [If no one has cleared up either of those.]

And let me tell you, I went to the one in Mall of America today, and it's nice. Pretty dark I would say, but still. At first it's kinda like an upscale whorehouse kind of feeling, but I like their stuff. I got a lot of tees and a few bras. They're all really nice. I didn't see any guy's stuff at this one, but I don't know if that's just because they have yet to build onto it. When I first saw it advertized a few months ago, it had a large section blocked off, but there was only half of it used when I went today, and the rest was still blocked off, so I'm thinking it might end up being two different stores, with maybe a link inbetween. Here's another thing I will say, even though it might be out of your way, how cool would it be when you're wearing stuff that very few [if any] people you know had it? Honestly.

And you guys never know, this could make it. I mean, look at American Eagle and Arie. AE made their own undergarment brand, and now they sell out of both Arie stores and regular AE stores, and make a killing on their PJ's, Bras, and Undies. I think they should pronounce it "Jilly" though instead of "Gilly" Still could spell it with a G, but pronounce it J. Sounds better that way in my opinion.

Gilly Hicks pronounced like Jilly Hicks reminds me of jello and people with cellulite. I think Gilly Hicks sounds fine just the way it is.

That's not a GH right next to it, its gonna be a RUEHL.

do they sell clothes for men? i havent gotten a chance to get to the store yet seein its at the westfarms mall

no.

the houston galleria is getting a gilly hicks and a ruehl. they recently put up a wall in front of the abercrombie kids store with its marketing on the outside saying summer 2008. They also put up a huge gray wall in front of the two previous tenants's spaces to the right (the original levi's store and a texas territories souveniors or some shit like that) which were both very large spaces. our RM says they're remodeling and incresing the size of the kids store and hollister and put in a gilly hicks and ruehl in the spaces to the right.
so if anyone goes to the houston galleria you'll see hollister, abercromber kids, gilly hicks, and ruehl all in a row. the a&F is a across the hall and down further.

That would be one loud floor!

are you sure, remember its 3 stores the two you mention and BCBG. and from my understanding Ruehl was taking all 3 spaces. abercrombie Kids and Hollister are expanding to the Levis store. and i heard Gilly Hicks will be near Saks Fifth and Dylands Candy Bar.

what is the gilly hicks website?
